JavaScript Math cbrt() Method

Last Updated : 08 Jul, 2020

Below is the example of the Math cbrt() Method.

Example:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
   document.write("cbrt of 64 : " 
                     + Math.cbrt(64) + "<br>");
   document.write("cbrt of 27: " 
                     + Math.cbrt(27) + "<br>"); 
   document.write("cbrt of 0: " 
                     + Math.cbrt(0) + "<br>"); 
   document.write("cbrt of -1: " 
                     + Math.cbrt(-1) + "<br>"); 
   document.write("cbrt of -27: " 
                     + Math.cbrt(-27) + "<br>"); 
   document.write("cbrt of Infinity : " 
                     + Math.cbrt(Infinity)); 
</script> 

Output:

cbrt of 16: 4
cbrt of 27: 3
cbrt of 0: 0
cbrt of -1: -1
cbrt of -27: -3
cbrt of Infinity : Infinity

The Math.cbrt() method is used to find cube root of a number.
Syntax:

Math.cbrt(x)

Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below:

x: This parameter is a simply a number whose cube root need to be find.

Returns: It returns the cube root of the given number.

Below example illustrate the cbrt() method in JavaScript:
Example: Here cube root of 8 is calculated to 2 because when any 3 times repeated any number is present inside of the cube root then only one number is taken out as the value of the cube root.
∛8
= ∛2*2*2
= 2

Input: Math.cbrt(8)
Output : 2

More codes for the above method are as follows:

Program 1: Errors and Exceptions, it is an error case because cube root of complex number can not be found that is why its parameter gives error.

<script type="text/javascript"> 
  // Cube root of complex number can 
  // not be calculated.
  document.write("cbrt of Complex no : " 
                   + Math.cbrt(1 + 2i));
</script> 

Output:

Error: Invalid or unexpected token

Program 2: Cube root of string can not be found that is why string parameter of the function gives NaN i.e, not a number. An only integer value can be used as the parameter for the function.

<script type="text/javascript"> 
   // Only number can be used as the parameter
   // here string as parameter gives NaN i.e, 
   // not a number.
   document.write("cbrt of a string : " 
                     + Math.cbrt("gfg"));
</script> 

Output:

cbrt of a string: NaN

Program 3: Whenever we need to get cube root of any number that time we take the help of the Math.cbrt() function in JavaScript.

<script type="text/javascript"> 
   // Here the Math.cbrt() function 
   // calculates cube root for
   // different numbers taken as 
   // function's parameter.
   document.write("Output : " 
                  + Math.cbrt(125) + "<br>");
   document.write("Output : " 
                  + Math.cbrt(23) + "<br>"); 
</script> 

Output:

Output : 5
Output : 2.8438669798515654
